scared of being ripped of!

[edjaned]

i have won something in auction by someone who has 2 accounts one apparantly the husbands i have not paid yet as i dont know which is the best way to do it and if i would be able to claim item if i didnt recieve it?i have also got suspicious as someone has been asking alot of questions on there auctions about if they are geniune sellers but the seller has not answered my item no is 1165624617-7880-0 dont know if that helps??

The amount of (0) feedback peeps selling expensive items is worrying. Most of us wouldn't consider bidding as they make no effort to convince us they are genuine.

If it doesn't feel right then be very careful. How do you know they have another account btw

[edjaned]

i was offered item through a wanted i had listed then they offered it as a private sale then they were suspended so she listed it in hubbys name as he also had account then her account was active again so i bid and won,they are both selling the samesorts of things and alot of questions are now being asked also they have said post only! keep gettig sent reminders to pay what should i do?

This may or it may not be fraud, but I would certainly contact admin, explaining your doubt's about previous suspensions, and ask their advice. In the meantime I would not send any payment. untill you get a reply from admin.

Good luck

As they accept pppay I would request the use of pppay's Escrow service.

They look as though they might be dropshippers.

I am sorry. I hope this experience doesn't put you off here. There are loads of good sellers on here. I hope you find what you are looking for from one of them. At this time of the year it is probably wise to stick to reputable sellers with excellent feedback. It is a shame because there are a lot of good sellers who have come over from other sites but unfortunately don't have a lot or any feedback on here. These scammers are not doing them any good either.
Some of them however will or may have the logo similar to this on their auctions "Fair Trader".

Clicking on the link in their auction will take you to their feedback elswhere. I would advise any seller coming from another site to sign up with them.

Good luck with finding what you are looking for.
